Lord Akers

Lord Akers was an English diplomat who served under Queen Elizabeth I of England during the mid-16th century. In 1560, Queen Elizabeth sent him to meet Louis I of Bourbon, Prince de Conde and convince him to accept Elizabeth's hand in marriage, and Conde agreed to marry her, as he was no longer welcome in France after the Siege of Angers. He then saw to it that Louis wedded Elizabeth by proxy and became King consort of England.
